What’s Happening?

Women’s Theatre Festival is proud to officially announce OTHELLO by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE in a modern verse translation by MFONISO UDOFIA as our Spring ‘21 Virtual Livestream Mainstage Production, produced in partnership with PLAY ON SHAKESPEARE.

OTHELLO takes place at Venice College, an elite all-female PWI (predominantly white institution) collegiate academic institution. Despite the implications of systemic racism within the school, the brilliant Othello excels both academically and socially. Her success triggers envy and uncovers the covert racism of her peers, especially that of her close friend and “ally” Iago, who sets in motion a vile scheme to sabotage and destroy her.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW for the 5 live performances of OTHELLO: April 8, 9, 10, 16, & 17 at 8pm ET. Live performances will be followed by a 3 day Video On Demand recorded version. You can find these tickets on our website or you can visit wtfothello.eventbrite.com to secure your ticket today! All tickets to OTHELLO are Pay What You Can.

Content Warnings: Instances of racialized violence, racially-charged language, mental, psychological, and stylized physical violence

Accessibility: All performances of OTHELLO will be open-captioned. We welcome other access requests and accommodations with as much notice as is possible. Contact Accessibility Coordinator Hannah Williams at mshannahcat@gmail.com to make a request or inquiry.

More about Women's Theatre Festival
The Women's Theatre Festival (WTF) is a group of theatre artists, both of diverse genders and cis male allies, who seek to address gender parity, diversity and inclusion in the theatre community. We want to collaborate with practitioners and theatre lovers who value, uplift, and center theatre-makers who/theatre that challenge/s the American canon dominated by cis men, including nonbinary people, trans men, trans women, genderqueer artists, and humans who may be questioning their gender. We strive to be an inclusive environment for all. In addition to WTF’s founding commitment to gender parity, WTF is committed to being a center for any and all creative peoples and work that uplifts the voices of the global majority. All of our collaborators, team members, and patrons deserve to find a home within WTF, a place where people can exist as their full creative selves regardless of race, sexuality, gender, size, ability, class, and age. Inclusivity and equity incite bravery which incites creation.
